sureee!! but idk if this gonna help you or nah but here's some advice. first of all, please don't make the conversation dry, keep replying with energic-tone so he know that you're interested to the convo! you can express the feelings towards emoticon, or you can also reply with much bubblechat, it shouldn't be long kok! just make the text divided to some parts. last, if you ran out topic, go ask him as simple as "wyd?" and then replies with response in positive way like (let's say he's eating seafood rn) "ahhh, i also love seafood! but my favourite is xxxx" hope it helps, sweetheart!
